Cracked Bath Tub

Plastic baths can be cracked with relative ease when enough pressures applied to a large area, the plastics elastic strength goes beyond its limit and results in a large surface crack. As pictured above, the cracked plastic bath was damaged by a tradesmen plumbing in the bath. Cracks to a plastic bath tub are drilled at the ends of the cracks to avoid the damage progressing any further through the molded plastic. Repairing cracks in a plastic bath tub require patching from the back of the surface with a flexible carbon fiber filler. Our carbon filler ensures that the repaired area is stronger then the original remaining both flexible and strong. The area around the crack must then be filled and coated with a specialist bath tub coating.

Chipped Plastic Bath

Chips to a plastic bath surface is created when hit with a high impact blow from an object with a small area. These types of damages renders the plastic inflexible and in effect makes the surface hard upon impact, which is not an ideal situation for plastic. The most common things that create chips are falling tiles, hand tools and household toiletry bottles.

Plastic used to manufacture baths is relatively brittle to begin with. Harsh cleaning chemicals are used during cleaning by unknowing owners, harsh chemicals such as bleach and citric acid are common in household bathrooms. Even in small doses over time they damage the surface of the baths plastic coating resulting in micro fractures on the surface, this can make the surface appear yellow or brown.

Acrylic coating is a very soft material and because of this acrylic tends wear after time from daily use and general wear and tear, they look dull as the surface coat becomes thinner eventually exposing the softer layer beneath the top coating, strong house hold cleaners can also remove the surface layers of the top protective coating and discoloring from sunlight and bleach can be big problem too.
